2023 Wish Recipients

This past year has been amazing. Thank you! Through our donors, sponsors and patrons at last year’s event, we were able to raise more than $20,000 for our mission. Toula and the board have been continuing to work all year to grant “Champagne Wishes” to several worthy causes.

Joe's Champagne Wishes

is proud to announce the winners for 2023!

All Star Projects of Chicago

Their mission is to transform the lives of youth and poor communities using the developmental powers of performance, in partnership with caring adults. Using an innovative performance-based approach, they help inner-city youth and their families see new opportunities in their lives and give them the tools to act on them. Joe’s Champagne Wishes is proud to have underwritten the costs for the DJ and Sound System for their Pop-Up Performance in the Austin Community this past August.

Holy Cross Sophocles Greek School

This school offers the study of the Greek language and culture to the children of the community. Located in Justice Illinois, the parish council has been working to improve and modernize their classrooms for today’s students. Joe’s Champagne Wishes is thrilled to supply four (4) projectors with mounting brackets and screens. These will be used by the teachers in each classroom to enhance the visual arts and culture programs.

Oak Lawn Park District Broadway Jr. Summer Theatre Camp

Joe was involved with Oak Lawn Park District (OLPD) Broadway Jr. since its’ inception, many years ago. Joe has taken headshots and production photos for many years. Joe’s Champagne Wishes is proud to have sponsored Maile Ishiki to be able to participate in the 2023 summer program. Joe’s Champagne Wishes also sponsored the costs to build the “Magic Carpet” for the Summer 2023 Broadway Jr Childrens’ production of Aladdin Jr.
